I mostly play Marvel Heroes with a smattering of NightSky and Solar 2 ^_^

Thank you :D hopefully I'll be able to contribute some good ideas for people (and also get more motivated to work on my sites, lol)

After years of experimenting, I found that running a self-hosted WordPress "blog" for all my updates has been the easiest to maintain, though I still supplement my WP updates with manual HTML updates on the various shrines themselves. (I used to do just manual updates for everything, but once I want...

This would be an awesome idea, especially if it was welcoming and educational for new designers--like offering or linking to good graphics tutorials for newbs (like me). (Main reason I say that: I joined a "design clique" several years ago that said they were trying to be inspirational, but they mos...

I'm mostly playing Marvel Heroes on Steam these days, because City of Heroes is closed (for now, though we're all hoping the talks to potentially save the game will come through). I play Scarlet Witch, Loki, Black Widow, Wolverine, Hulk, and Thing :) Other than MMOs, I recently played through the fi...

- Reading The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne
- Next up: The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

1. I used to upload only "completed" shrines, having ALL bits and pieces of information in place and nothing really to add to it. However, maintaining those sites over time gets a bit old...it's hard to keep posting updates like "wellp, I'm still here, nothing to add, bye." So I think in some ways h...

Seconding Mikari's suggestion to have outside sources for original art/writing/etc. so you can prove it's yours later. (I also have started doing screenshots of my layouts for similar reasons.) As a former English teacher, plagiarism in any form makes me Hulk-mad. No matter if you "make money off it...
